A GUIDE TO CHOOSING SHIPPING CONTAINER DOORS**UPDATEDYes, there is more to shipping containers than a uniform metal box - especially when it takes on the job of providing storage or accommodation for business use. While cargo doors (the original doors manufactured for all shipping containers) are a necessary requirement for shipping, and indeed meet the needs of the job perfectly, they don’t always provide the best option for other uses the container will frequently go on to.

We now offer five distinct door styles for shipping container products. Read on to demystify the confusion over the number of different door types you will find on containers, what they are for and how to make an informed choice when choosing the right one for you.Published Friday 31 May 2013, Updated Friday 11 January 2019
